“He went down trying not to look long at her, as though she were the sun, but he saw her, as one sees the sun, without looking.”
“He stepped down, trying not to look long at her, as if she were the sun, yet he saw her, like the sun, even without looking.”
“He stepped down, avoiding any long look at her as one avoids long looks at the sun, but seeing her as one sees the sun, without looking.”
“He walked down, for a long while avoiding looking at her as at the sun, but seeing her, as one does the sun, without looking.”
“marveling at this boldness and ease in her presence, and not for one second losing sight of her, though he did not look at her. He felt as though the sun were coming near him.”
“And then I saw the way he looked at her... like he was a blind man, seeing the sun for the very first time.”
